Description
LUNETTES A ARTICULATION FLEXIBLE La présente invention concerne des lunettes constituées par une façade optique ou solaire, soutenue ou non par une monture, et comprenant deux branches, chacune d'elles étant reliée à la monture ou directement à la façade par l'intermédiaire d'un tenon et d'une articulation associée. The present invention relates to spectacles consisting of an optical or solar façade, supported or not by a frame, and comprising two branches, each of them being connected to the frame or directly to the frontage through the lens. a tenon and an associated joint.
Ce genre d'articulation peut concerner des lunettes dites à verres cerclés par une monture métallique ou plastique. This kind of articulation can relate to glasses called glasses circled by a metal or plastic mount.
Elle peut également concerner des lunettes à verres partiellement cerclés par une monture et se prolongeant par un fil souple et transparent, ou encore des lunettes à verres non cerclés, dits « percés », dans lesquels les tenons et le nez sont fixés sur les verres par perçage et utilisation de vis ou picots. It may also relate to glasses partially rimmed by a frame and extending by a flexible and transparent thread, or glasses not rimmed glasses, called "drilled", in which the tenons and the nose are fixed to the lenses by drilling and use of screws or pins.
Selon l'art antérieur connu dans ce domaine, l'articulation des branches s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'une vis formant charnière entre une extrémité de la branche et une extrémité correspondante du tenon. According to the known prior art in this field, the articulation of the branches is effected by means of a screw forming a hinge between one end of the branch and a corresponding end of the tenon.
Cette solution pose bon nombre de problèmes du fait que la vis d'articulation a toujours tendance à se desserrer, ce qui produit un effet désagréable dans le port des lunettes, quand cela ne se traduit pas par la perte de la branche. This solution poses a number of problems because the hinge screw always tends to loosen, which produces an unpleasant effect in the wearing of glasses, when this does not result in the loss of the branch.
Ceci est d'autant plus sensible lorsqu'il s'agit de lunettes pour enfants car il s'y ajoute le fait que les manipulations des branches à l'ouverture et à la fermeture s'effectuent parfois de manière maladroite, tendant à forcer les branches au-delà de leur limite angulaire en ouverture, ayant bien entendu pour effet néfaste d'endommager l'articulation voire la branche, ou au pire de la casser. This is all the more noticeable when it comes to children's glasses as it adds to the fact that the manipulation of the branches at the opening and closing are sometimes carried out in an awkward manner, tending to force branches beyond their angular limit in opening, having of course the harmful effect of damaging the joint or the branch, or at worst breaking it.
De plus, les lunettes à articulation à vis présentent l'inconvénient majeur de voir leurs branches prendre du jeu dans le temps, du fait du dévissage de la vis. De ce fait, les branches n'enserrent plus efficacement la tête au niveau des oreilles, et il en résulte un inconfort et un risque de déchaussement pour l'utilisateur. In addition, the screw hinge glasses have the major drawback of seeing their branches take the game in time, because of the unscrewing of the screw. As a result, the branches no longer effectively clamp the head at the ears, and this results in discomfort and risk of loosening for the user.
Les articulations du type « flex » sont susceptibles de remédier à ce dernier inconvénient, mais elles sont d'une fabrication complexe, mettant en oeuvre un ressort et un certain nombre d'autres composants les rendant coûteuses, et encore ici, non particulièrement adaptées à un enfant. The joints of the "flex" type are capable of overcoming this last drawback, but they are of complex manufacture, using a spring and a certain number of other components making them expensive, and even here, not particularly adapted to a kid.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients en proposant des lunettes de fabrication simple et économique, à branches incassables, et d'excellente tenue sur le visage d'un utilisateur. The present invention aims to remedy all of these disadvantages by providing glasses simple and economical manufacturing, unbreakable branches, and excellent hold on the face of a user.
A cet effet, elle concerne des lunettes constituées par une façade optique ou solaire, soutenue ou non par une monture, et comprenant deux branches, chacune d'elles étant reliée à la monture ou directement à la façade par l'intermédiaire d'un tenon et d'une articulation associée, caractérisées en ce que l'articulation est constituée par un élément monobloc plein élastiquement déformable interposé entre une extrémité de la branche et une extrémité en vis-à-vis du tenon, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison. For this purpose, it relates to glasses constituted by an optical or solar facade, supported or not by a mount, and comprising two branches, each of them being connected to the frame or directly to the facade by means of a tenon and an associated hinge, characterized in that the hinge is constituted by a solid one-piece elastically deformable element interposed between one end of the branch and an end vis-à-vis the pin, via connecting means .
L'invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles. The invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels: La figure 1 représente une vue frontale d'une paire de lunettes. La figure 2 représente, en vue de dessus, des lunettes de la figure 1, munies d'une articulation selon l'invention, en position « active » et en position « passive ». La figure 3 représente, à échelle agrandie, les lunettes selon la figure 2. This description given by way of non-limiting example, will better understand how the invention can be made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a front view of a pair of glasses. FIG. 2 represents, in plan view, the spectacles of FIG. 1, provided with a hinge according to the invention, in the "active" position and in the "passive" position. FIG. 3 represents, on an enlarged scale, the spectacles according to FIG.
La figure 4 représente une vue latérale, à échelle agrandie, des lunettes munies de l'articulation selon l'invention. La figure 5 représente l'élément d'articulation selon l'invention, détaché des lunettes. Figure 4 shows a side view, on an enlarged scale, glasses provided with the hinge according to the invention. Figure 5 shows the hinge element according to the invention, detached glasses.
Les lunettes 1 globalement désignées sur les figures sont constituées par une façade optique ou solaire 2, soutenue ou non par une monture 3, et comprenant deux branches 4, chacune d'elles étant reliée à la monture 3 ou directement à la façade 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un tenon 5 et d'une articulation associée 6. The glasses 1 generally designated in the figures are constituted by an optical or solar facade 2, supported or not by a frame 3, and comprising two branches 4, each of them being connected to the frame 3 or directly to the facade 2 by intermediate of a post 5 and an associated joint 6.
Selon l'invention, l'articulation 6 est constituée par un élément monobloc plein élastiquement déformable interposé entre une extrémité 4a de la branche 4 et une extrémité 5a en vis-à-vis du tenon 5, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison 7,8. According to the invention, the hinge 6 is constituted by a solid one-piece elastically deformable element interposed between an end 4a of the branch 4 and an end 5a vis-à-vis the pin 5, by means of connecting means 7 8.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de liaison 7,8 sont réalisés, de manière également monobloc, aux deux extrémités de l'élément d'articulation 6, lesdits moyens étant de dimensions et de formes telles à coopérer en retenue dans des logements correspondants 9,10, réalisés aux extrémités en vis-à-vis 5a,4a du tenon 5 et de la branche 4. According to one characteristic of the invention, the connecting means 7, 8 are also integrally formed at both ends of the hinge element 6, said means being of such dimensions and shapes as to cooperate in restraint in corresponding housing 9,10, made at the ends facing each other 5a, 4a of the post 5 and the branch 4.
Le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures à titre d'exemple concerne des moyens de liaison 7,8 réalisés aux extrémités de l'élément d'articulation 6, constitués par des plots de formes globalement parallélépipédiques, de section inférieure, supérieure ou égale à celle du corps central 11 de l'élément d'articulation 6 duquel ils sont issus axialement. The embodiment shown in the figures by way of example relates to connecting means 7,8 made at the ends of the hinge element 6, constituted by pads of generally parallelepipedal shapes, of lower section, greater than or equal to that of the central body 11 of the hinge element 6 which they are axially derived.
Comme le montre bien la figure 5, les moyens de liaison 7,8 réalisés aux extrémités de l'élément d'articulation 6 sont constitués par des plots globalement parallélépipédiques, de sections correspondantes à celles des logements 9,10 destinés à les accueillir, mais inférieures à celle du corps central 11 de l'élément d'articulation 6, de manière telle à former un épaulement 12,13 avec celui-ci, tout en permettant à la section dudit corps 11 de s'inscrire dans des sections respectives des extrémités 4a,5a de la branche 4 et du tenon 5. As is clearly shown in FIG. 5, the connection means 7, 8 made at the ends of the articulation element 6 are constituted by globally parallelepipedic studs, of sections corresponding to those of the housings 9, 10 intended to receive them, but lower than that of the central body 11 of the articulation element 6, so as to form a shoulder 12,13 with it, while allowing the section of said body 11 to register in respective sections of the ends 4a, 5a of the branch 4 and the post 5.
Par ailleurs, la fixation de chacun des plots de liaison 7,8 de l'élément d'articulation 6 dans leur logement 9,10 est sécurisé par une vis 14,15 traversant un trou 16,17, pratiqué dans une paroi dudit logement 9,10, et un trou 20,21 situé en vis-à-vis, pratiqué transversalement dans le plot 7,8 engagé dans ledit logement 9,10, pour se visser dans la paroi latérale 22,23 opposée de ce dernier. Furthermore, the fixing of each of the connecting pads 7,8 of the articulation element 6 in their housing 9,10 is secured by a screw 14,15 through a hole 16,17, formed in a wall of said housing 9 , 10, and a hole 20,21 located opposite, made transversely in the pad 7,8 engaged in said housing 9,10, to be screwed into the opposite side wall 22,23 of the latter.
Préférentiellement, la section de l'élément d'articulation monobloc 6 est quadrangulaire et s'adapte à une section identique de la branche 4 et du tenon 5. Bien entendu, elle pourrait de la même manière être circulaire, ou de toute autre forme. Preferably, the section of the one-piece hinge element 6 is quadrangular and fits an identical section of the branch 4 and the pin 5. Of course, it could similarly be circular, or any other form.
Il en est de même pour le matériau constitutif de l'élément d'articulation 6, qui est préférentiellement en élastomère, mais qui pourrait être en tout autre matériau élastiquement déformable. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'élément d'articulation monobloc 6 est réalisé selon un rayon de courbure tel à donner à la branche 4 une30 inclinaison angulaire « a » d'environ 45° par rapport à la façade optique 2. It is the same for the material constituting the hinge element 6, which is preferably made of elastomer, but which could be in any other elastically deformable material. According to another characteristic of the invention, the one-piece hinge element 6 is formed according to a radius of curvature such as to give to the branch 4 an angular inclination "a" of approximately 45 ° with respect to the optical facade 2.
Cela permet le serrage des branches sur la tête 5 lorsque les lunettes sont portées, et un encombrement limité lorsqu'elles ne le sont pas. This allows the tightening of the branches on the head 5 when the glasses are worn, and a limited space when they are not.
